The Flight of the Heron

This book amazed me. It was written so long ago and so many stories have been written about the Jacobites. Some of the descriptions were like poetry...incredibly beautiful. What a story! I laughed and I sobbed. Never have experienced a relationship like the one between the hero and Keith. My heart pounded and my skin tingled. The story was so real. I will never forget it nor will I forget the characters. I can't wait to read the sequels. This is a REAL book. Don't miss it.

This is a wonderful story, with plenty of romance, action and adventure, but it also explores important themes like honor, duty, loyalty and courage. You'll love the characters and want to read more about them. It's a classic that I've read several times. Highly, highly recommended.

Flight of the Heron is a great book. It is a brillant example of true friendship and love, and it has adventure. The two main characters are supposed to be enemies; however, they end up having a very strong friendship in the end, which actually brought tears to my eyes. Also, the love that is between the Scottish heroine and his leading lady is sweet and endearing. Reading this book is wonderful and enchanting for the reader! I highly recommend it for those of you who enjoy friendship, romance, and adventure.

First published in the 1920s and still popular, The Flight of the Heron is a romantic adventure of the Jacobite uprising in 1745. A tall red-headed hero, strong friendships, an attractive heroine, and lots of fight and flight in the heather - what more could you ask? Other titles in the trilogy are The Dark Mile and The Gleam in the North.
